The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1269

“What? Uncle Jeremy isn’t here? Why are you here, then?” asked Annie in confusion.

“He asked me to stay here to protect Miss Corinne.”

Annie’s lips twitched. “Oh my god, he’s hopeless! Doesn’t he know that what Corinne needs now is for him to spend

time with her instead of asking you to stay to protect her? Ugh. You know what? Forget it! I’m going to see Corinne

now.”

After that, she went into Corinne’s room with a box of chocolates in her hand.

Tommy sighed helplessly. He then texted Jeremy, [Mister Jeremy, are you going to visit Miss Corinne later?]

A few minutes later, he received a reply from him. [Did she say she wants to see me?]

[No. She didn’t say anything.]

This time, Jeremy replied faster. [Okay. All you need to do is keep an eye on her.]

Tommy sighed again. [Understood, Sir.]

Somehow, he was panicking even more than Jeremy. He had just put away his phone when he saw Annie walking

out of Corinne’s room.

She handed him some chocolates. “Here, these are for you.”

“For me?” repeated Tommy with surprise. “Oh, it’s okay, Miss Annie. Please keep them for yourself.”

“Corinne asked me to give them to you. She said you’ve been standing guard here the whole day without eating or

resting. She even told me to get you a chair and something to drink and eat.”

After that, Annie brought over a chair from the dining table before running back to the kitchen to get him some

bread and water.

Tommy was actually quite touched by the gesture. ‘Miss Corinne might not welcome me here, but she still cares

about me after all. She’s a good woman.’

“Corinne also said that it must be hard working for a greedy capitalist like Uncle Jeremy,” said Annie.

Tommy was speechless. ‘Yes, Mister Jeremy might seem cold and aloof, but he’s actually quite good to me. He

never stopped me from having a break or going out for lunch. I was the one who didn’t want to go since I don’t get

easily hungry.’

Annie looked at him sympathetically. “Dig in, dig in. I can’t imagine how hard it is to work for Uncle Jeremy. I mean, I

can, since I used to work with him before. Once was enough for me, though—he’s colder and meaner than usual

when he’s working. To think you’ll need to face him every day. Sigh… I would’ve quit long ago if I were you.”

Tommy was once again speechless.

Suddenly, Annie remembered something. “By the way. Uncle Jeremy—”

However, before Annie could finish her sentence, she felt someone coming up from behind her and whispering into

her ear, “What are you guys eating? Is there any for me?”

She immediately jumped up from her seat as though she had seen a ghost before blurting, “Your… Your share is

with Corinne. You can go get it yourself!”

Aaron crossed his arms and smiled. “Someone here doesn’t like me going into the boss’ room. Would you be so

kind as to grab it for me?”

Both Tommy and Annie were speechless.

In the end, Annie went to Corinne’s room to get Aaron his chocolate.
